Bill Russell, the legendary Celtics center who was the cornerstone of basketball’s greatest dynasty and an exemplar of racial harmony and progress, died Sunday at age 88, his family announced on Twitter.

His wife, Jeannine, was at his side, according to the announcement, which did not say where Mr. Russell died, or disclose a cause.

Mr. Russell, who played for two national championship varsities at the University of San Francisco and who captained the US team that won the Olympic gold medal at the 1956 Games, was Boston’s imposing man in the middle for an unsurpassed string of National Basketball Association titles that made the Celtics the league’s most feared and admired club. “The Yankees won 26 championships,” Mr. Russell once observed. “What did it take them, 100 years?”
